Description
Climate change and management of hazardous chemicals and wastes are two of the many challenges facing policy and decision makers committed to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, as set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. A number of global agreements have been established to address these issues. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change seeks to both stabilize greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations in the atmosphere and adapt to the eventual inevitable impacts of climate change. Falling within the scope of this study, hazardous chemicals related agreements include the Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade, the Stockholm Convention on This report presents a comprehensive technical review of the interlinkages between climate change, hazardous chemicals and waste. It is based on information available in the open literature, and thus topics on which published literature is limited will not be addressed. Examples of such areas where climate change and hazardous chemicals interlinkages are not well explored include groundwater, desertification and freshwater systems. As identified previously, the report focuses on the UNFCCC and four of the chemicals’ treaties, being the Basel, Rotterdam, Stockholm and Minamata Conventions, towards identifying areas where there are overlaps, thereby supporting concurrent implementation of the treaties. A schematic representation of the interlinkages between the four chemicals treaties covered by this report is shown in Figure 1. It is noted that, although not covered in the study, many other treaties also have links to climate change. Notable here is the Vienna Convention and associate Montreal Convention on Ozone Depleting Substances, which is already well understood in terms of its links with climate change.
